Big Pink (Touristas)
Down in Woodstock, NY, after we finished filming some pickup footage for the documentary we're doing on Juma Sultan, Steve Doheny-Farina and I decided to drive around on the backroads looking for Big Pink, the house where The Band [wikipedia link] recorded their famous album [another wikipedia link; if you don't own it, you should—hit any used record store or amazon].
It took a lot of map-reading, guessing, and driving, but we found it. Steve initially wanted to run up to the house and pose in front of it, but it looked like it was currently occupied, and it was 8 am, so we settled for a drive-by shot out the van window.
